Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.

I believe in meeting people where they are and co-creating a therapeutic space that honours each person’s unique experiences, identities, and inner resilience. I hold the belief that we all carry the innate capacity to heal and grow. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in creating a non-judgmental space where I can walk alongside individuals as they explore their inner world, uncover their strengths, and move forward on their path of growth and healing.

 

My Approach

I pay close attention to the connection between mind and body, recognizing how trauma, stress, and emotional pain can be held somatically and how healing often involves both cognitive and embodied work. Committed to ethical and culturally responsive practice, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to each individual. These include Narrative Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Trauma-Based Psychotherapy, mindfulness, as well as somatic and art-based strategies.

 

I support both adults and adolescents in building the skills, insight, and confidence to strengthen relationships, navigate life’s challenges, and move toward their fullest selves. Some areas of focus in my practice include life transitions, women’s issues, anxiety, depression, self-development, and trauma recovery.

 

I believe deeply in each person’s inherent wisdom and resilience. My therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate, trauma-informed, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to integrate practical, evidence-based strategies with a holistic mind-body framework. At the same time, I continually adapt my approach based on each person’s unique preferences, needs, and goals.
